A man is expected to recover after he was found bleeding from the chest Wednesday night walking just outside of a North Side apartment complex.

San Antonio Police Department spokesman officer Douglas Greene confirmed the man, in his early 20s, was found walking in the woods behind the complex at about 5 p.m. in the 14200 block of Vance Jackson Road.

Two residents, who did not wish to be identified, said they found the man bleeding from the chest and called 911. Police said he had been shot in the chest.

When police arrived, the man was still able to talk but was uncooperative, officers said.

Police said it appeared the man had a gunshot wound to his chest.

When police arrived, the man was still able to talk but didn't provide details as to what happened to him, officers at the scene said.

Later, the man told police he had been followed by three men because he was driving too slow, Greene said. When he got out of his vehicle, he was beaten by three men and shot by one of them during the assault, police said.

The three men then stole his vehicle as they drove away and he was left stumbling for help, according to police.

Greene said the man is now in stable condition at University Hospital. A description of the vehicle that was stolen was not released by police.
